    *Receive both a PDF and Editable Word Document! Middle School and High School singers frequently lack the awareness of what it takes to participate effectively in group voice classes (rotating lessons, pullout lessons, or sectionals). If we want to see them improve their contribution, we must make them aware of what is expected of them. But that isn't enough to instill improvement. Singers must hold themselves accountable for their own participation in development and achievement. This self-assessment tool is incredibly useful for that purpose.

    Note-labeling is not an "all or nothing" skill. Any singer must be successful at note-labeling before being able to sight sing.

    First a student must accurately be able to label the pitches with solfege. Next they need to gain speed. The speed at which they can identify the pitches will determine how quickly they can access their ear. If they have not developed their ear first, they will not be able to produce the notes correctly.   This Rubric has 5 tangible Levels.  *You will receive a 3-page PDF Rubric for immediate download along with a few dozen examples to label, courtesy of Sight Reading Factory!   This rubric is a positive tool to encourage singers with 5 Levels for success! This rubric can be used independently or in conjunction with the Sight-Singing Developmental Rubric; within that rubric, where this is a specific prerequisite skill.
